The Corps de Ballet is the backbone of a ballet company and performs in all the large group sections of a ballet. The female Corps de Ballet in many classical ballets must be very well rehearsed so they can maintain symmetrical lines and perform in perfect unison.

A dancer who excels in the Corps de Ballet may be promoted to a Second Soloist and be asked to perform smaller group dances and some solo roles.

Demonstrating their talent and strength as a Second Soloist, can lead a dancer to being promoted to First/Principal Soloist. As a Principal Soloists, dancers are given more solo roles to perform and are groomed for principal roles.

When a dancer has reached a certain level of technical ability and artistic maturity, they are promoted to Principal Dancer, the highest ranking of dancer. Principal Dancers perform starring roles in a company's repertoire.

What is a male ballerina called?

Because you said "Ballerina" that means the top ballet dancer in a company. There can only be one Ballerina in a company. The male counterpart would be called a Danseur Nobel. Other male dancers would be called Danseurs, or by their rank such as Principal, Soloist or Corps de ballet or just ballet dancer. The same goes for the other women in the company. They would be just called ballet dancers or by their rank. Never a Ballerina.

What is company in drama?

"The company" in drama terms means the entire cast of the show you're putting on. Often times you will see musical numbers in programs with the name of the soloist, a comma, and then the word company. This means that there is one soloist and the company is in the background.
